AAGBlog: AAG was born, with divine serendipity, in an era and a city where Johnson and Dick were on everyone’s minds. She was raised by a small clan of somewhat-benevolent criminals who toured the country from the Great Plains to the Upper Midwest during her youth. After living in a den of iniquity (ie, college) for four short years, AAG for a brief time shared a house with a woman who couldn’t ever remember her name and who kept falling over at inconvenient moments. Later, AAG explored gorges and waterfalls in the Middle Atlantic states before returning with a U-Haul full of junk to her current much-loved Upper Midwestern state. For well over 10 years, AAG remained locked in The Matrimonial Big House. While there, she gladly bore or otherwise acquired numerous small people who call her “mom” and depend on her for food, shelter and the removal of boogers. She loves them like the air.

Recently, AAG crawled through a river of shit to come out clean on the other side of her doomed marriage. She’s liking the other side very, very much, as it allows her the opportunity to indulge more fully her toy-wielding, cleavage-baring, coffee-dating, orgy-going tendencies. AAG began her weblog in September 2005. She’s written in it almost obsessively and nearly daily since then. Her writing has been called “brilliant” and “pure crap.” She’s been accused of being a team of writers, a man, a fantasy, and one hot lil’ bitch. She takes none of the accolades or brickbats particularly seriously. You can contact AAG at aagblog *at* gmail.

Through her work she seeks to express her own innate creativity, sexuality, complexity, and, yes, nerdiness without regard to its relative shock value or banality.

He’s been writing publicly about sex, religion and gender on a number of attempted sites since 2006, but has never been as prolific as on Pornocracy (http://www.pornocracy.org).
